How the fuck is this allowed?
Is there any distro where this works?
What's the easiest way to rename multiple files?
Post webm for proof.
>>51861764
Thunar can do that. Is this a bait?
Linux a shit. Completely your fault for even thinking of possibly wanting to give it some kind of opportunity.
>>51861764
Batch renaming is possible but only through the terminal. This is in no case an excuse as it is extremely unintuitive for newcomers.
But then again, I don't know of any other OS that has batch renaming built into their GUI out of the box.
>>51861828
>>51861764
I don't see what the Linux kernel has to do with his GUI file manager's inability to bulk rename files.
>>51861876
ok then, let me rephase the question:
Why can't majority of file managers do bulk rename?
>>51861833
>>51861833

>>51861764
Hi I'm OP and what is mv?
idk man
>>51861942
That could be strong comeback in OS debates.
Post this and write "Yes, but can Linux do this"
>>51861955
mv is a command to move or rename files.

> mv my_file my_new_file
will rename my_file to my_new_file

Wow, Linux is so user firendly
I also know about rename command
>>51861979
then why do most used file managers not offer that instead of greyed out "rename"?
>>51862090
wut - ffmpeg works on linux and mac too
>>51862093
>then why do most used file managers not offer that instead of greyed out "rename"?
Because most file managers are shit

Is there anything that can be done to address that issue?
How come nothing hasn't been done already?

Install a non-shit one
Or submit bug reports
Or contribute the functionality yourself

The big problem there is that the entire GNOME project is done in a way that treats users like drooling retards
As such many of their programs lack more advanced stuff (Such as multi-file rename in Nautilus in the oP)

You can also use something like wdired or vidir to use visual block selection, keyboard macros (or multiple cursors), text objects, normal regex search and replace, etc. to rename many files at once efficiently.

linux does not compete as a modern desktop OS.
diehard fans will argue this for days, but frankly it's a fact. Linux isn't ready for the common populace, no matter what skin you put on it. It's unfinished. All these distros developing separately trying to reinvent the wheel are only slowing the process down.
Ubuntu is close, but it'll never be better than it's competition (or even taken seriously) because they sullied its good name by including amazon bloatware.
Until the community gets together and makes something that 'just works', linux will be reserved for those 'power users' who would prefer it.
Perhaps that's just the way it should be.
In the meantime, let's not pretend Linux is something it is not.

You fucking retard. Linux is modular. All distros can be modular.
All file systems can be replaced. Nothing is permanent. You say you need prove but would you fuck off and accept that anything you want to do can be done on a linux dsitro. It may make you swear doing it but it can be done given you have the time.
Fedora can be turned into linux mint.
So we a simple functions like renaming multiple files excite your simply mind?
Hell give me a command line and I can copy my partition and load it onto another brand new disk and then load directly off that brand new disk running the same system as when it was copied.

>I would think demonstrating the ability of you and your computer to show you can handle a simple task of creating and posting a webm of a simple task would easily bring credit to you and your OS of choice.
If you say so. Look, if you're actually interested into knowing more about linux there's the /sqt/ and the linux friendly threads, just follow the rules and i'm sure that you'll get answers, also the best way to learn about an os you don't know is trying it by yourself instead of speculating which is better because that's something very subjective, don't be afraid, you can start on a virtual machine if partitioning scares you at first.
>>51863085
I do sometimes enjoy taking dicks up my arse while I rename multiple files. Thank for noticing OP

Thing is I've played with Linux and all the playing has still lead me to conclude that for me WIndows is much more useful and beneficial.

Thunar is default for XFCE, but you can install it separately on other DEs

It's great that you admit when you're wrong, but who the fuck would think Linux can't make webms? Have you never heard of ffmpeg?
>>51863615
Yeah but until later on in the thread nobody did it. It just seem s like when a Linux user can end the thread so quickly with a webm proving op wrong to everyone it doesn't happen. I see people saying Linux can but when i see them saying it but not doing it it leaves me skepticle.
linux is awesome
>>51863665
I understand, but why are you even posting here when you know NOTHING about technology? I find it hard to believe you're actually interested in technology when you're so ignorant about it.
>>51863556
Actually a lot of programs for audio and video conversion both in windows, mac and linux are just frontends for ffmpeg.

I'm a windows user. I know something about technology. I just don't know much about Linux and rarely pick things up about it because most the Linux topics here involve anime pictures and noobs being told to fuck off and read the documentation. And also If ibdobLin:x it would be with gui stuff. I'm surprised this thread taught me something.

I think your problem is not necessarily what this person says >>51863712, but (if you want to take it as an insult or as criticism is up to you) i thinks that your problem is that you're very impatient, you want to push your opinion on other people and you lack of curiosity to research for yourself when you're very quick to form conclusions even when it's obvious that you still lack information, more like if you were saying "ok, i guess that's all the information i need"

You're not allowed to make troll threads outside of /b/.
People complain that GTK+ is a dumbed-down piece of shit, and then they switch to Qt only to resume their tantrum because the default theme happens to be somewhat ugly.
>>51863792
>I know something about technology.
If you don't know what ffmpeg is, you do not know much about technology.
I understand your ignorance, but it is not acceptable to shitpost about things you are ignorant about. Why would you go into a thread about Linux and act like you know what you're talking about when you don't know the first thing about it?
1) Many file managers do have this feature
2) You can do this through shell scripts, which provides much more possibilities in some situations and use cases. For example to rename all png images in a directory with a script:i=0
for file in *.png ; do
mv "$file" "new filename $i.png"
let i+=1
done
3) There is commands like "rename" for replacing patterns in filenames, again this is through the command line which can offer much more possibilities and use cases.
4) There is graphical file renaming software on Linux.
Basically go fuck yourself OP, and all the Windows-fags that browse here and do nothing but shit up the board can go fuck themselves too.
>>51863830
>>51863846
Impatience might be a factor but I mean, seriously why couldn't someone just shut me up with a webm like this guy >>51862282 and the next few that followed.
Sure I could go and spend my time installing Linux and messing with FFMPEG or even searching for how it's done and seeing if I run into an article that proves me wrong but it happened here with webms being posted.
I know it's not your job to prove me wrong but how about proving yourselves right? how hard is it? Anyone in this thread responding to OP is to some degree trying to change somebody elses mind on something they're wrong about.
>>51863960
You're saying that a single webm wasn't enough to prove to you that Linux has ffmpeg capabilities?
>>51863488
>>51863514
And I've been doing my bulk renaming in bash.
>>51863987
That webm didn't prove anything to me about ffmpeg. What I see in that webm is the ability to get a webm in Linux os.
Even then I"m assuming it's some sort of gui. If not I'd be unimpressed again. I can't stand the thought of having to write and compile code just to get a simple webm or bulk rename done like this >>51863793. I can't see that being a quick painless ordeal unless you're spent at least one year fucking with Linux. I'm not trying to spend that much time just to see results.
>>51864092
>What I see in that it is possible to get a webm in Linux os.
that's what I meant.
>>51861822
No, just tech support. You must be new here.
>>51864092
You're not even comprehending what you're thinking correctly.
Webm is a container format, that holds video/audio/subs. What you were thinking Linux didn't have is screen recording capabilities.
ffmpeg is designed and primarily for Linux. Almost all the developers are using Linux. Almost any non-proprietary software you see that has to do with decoding or encoding of video formats, is using ffmpeg.
Basically you're fucking retarded, you know nothing about technology, you create shitposts, and you should leave this board.

linux is a modular system.
many people coming from windows don't understand this
unlike windows, there are usually many ways/programs that accomplish the same tasks, and each has its strengths and weaknesses.
so many windows users will install one DE, which is really just a large set of software. then, when they try to do something, and that software doesn't support it, it becomes a "linux can't do x" feature, when there is probably another program that can.
also, if you don't want to deal with the cli of a particular popular program (like ffmpeg) there is probably a gui somewhere (like winff).
for example, >>51864597 records his screen with ssr, which outputs directly to webm
I use kazam, which outputs to mp4 or something, and then convert to webm
both work
